I'm sorry, but comparing an entrepreneur who has to leave a company before he gets rich to a civil rights leader who gets murdered before his children are recognized as fully human and equal members of society by his government is pretty damn tone death. There is no comparison. That epigraph shouldn't be there, and that post shouldn't have that title.
- paulbaumgart 17y agoHe did attribute it to MLK, but ultimately it's a biblical reference (Moses & crossing the Jordan River). Those are usually OK in a variety of contexts.
- microcentury 17y agoIt may originally come from the Bible, but that line is indelibly linked with MLK. I agree with rauljara - that headline is tone-deaf and tacky, though the article itself is well-written and informative.
- paulbaumgart 17y agoI don't actually disagree, but mostly in the sense that it distracts from the point he's actually making.
